Biography

Pirate Robot was a powerful robot created by the Pirate Gang to guard their treasure.

Dragon Ball

Pirate Robot appeared in "The Trap is Sprung". When Bulma Brief, Kuririn, and Son Goku arrived at the Pirate Cave looking for the treasure and a Dragon Ball, Pirate Robot attacked them. Pirate Robot appeared to only be able to say three phrases: "Argh, maytes", "Yo ho ho", and "Shiver me timbers". (He does not have any phrases in the Japanese dub.)

Pirate Robot was by far the most powerful villain up to that point in the series as he easily took dozens of punches from Goku and Kuririn. Unlike Sergeant Metallic, he did not take any large damage. At one point, he was hit by a cannon and involved in an explosive truck, but kept all of his body parts. He was armed with a machine gun and a sword, which Kuririn later destroyed, and could use his feet to skid across water. Pirate Robot could also wrap his tail around someone and send a surge of electricity through it, thus shocking the foe. Pirate Robot was eventually destroyed by Goku when he punched through his head and destroyed the power core.

"This giant robot bears the insignia of the Red Ribbon Army. Scanning indicates that this robot was designed for military purposes. The thick Geromatium armor on this robot makes it invulnerable to most conventional attack."

Destroyers resemble Pirate Robot in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II. The Destroyers' Scouter data indicates that they were created by the Red Ribbon Army (possibly a reference to the fact that Pirate Robot appears during the General Blue Saga). The Destroyers are said to be protected from most conventional attacks by a layer of thick Geromantium armor (likely a combination of Doctor Gero's name and -matium). Because the Destroyers are said to bare the Red Ribbon Army insignia and have armor made of a fictional alloy called Geromantium (likely invented by Gero), it is safe to assume that they were built by Dr. Gero.
